Be it known in EUGENE PI. R'i'nnson',

2i citizen of mo Sin. is. 2' s: at Woonsocicet, county oi Providence Elllll Scale of Rhoda .l'sicnil, have invented certain new Improvements 1n lsli 13,05 which tho lily inv lion '1 a giisn and cut- '10 levy drainer, of that which comprises a nmin rec-e1 of Wire, to rocoivc and hold anil a supplemental compartment in i'eccho i'lie cutlci'y.

iion consists in lily inve'" ccriain novel features constru'ccion o" my drainer, as will be lierci aficifully described.

Roicrring to the drawing- Fin. 1 is a plan view of-a ilrsincr'of my impi'oveil constrnctioi'i.

in tlic accompanying drawing, 1 is one main rcccpmclc o1- oompmfitmoniof lilo dminei, in reofvc the dishes, which is msclo of open. Work wire, .'11 (no form of o troy,

having upwardly outwardly inclined 59 side Walls 2, and Wzlll if, and lcngi'tudi molly cx'bendng i-c sncl cross rods Someyof the low cifllliml rods :2 are provided. Willi-cynically extending shaped projoc ions (see Fig.

ncenl .to be movcd in: '"tacle,"

cc (Joiner, look-- 2), to support the dishes in an upright position, all in the usnral nncl Well known Way.

1 will now describe my improved consli'uclion of the drainer.

At one end of the drainer, and preferably extending transversely across the drainer as one and, a divisional Wall .6, mode of wire, and consisting in this insiance of two longitudinally extsniling rolls 6, at tho top and bottom, and vertically extendin rods 6 between said rods 6. The divisional wall 6 is pivotully attziched or hinged at its lower edge to one of Sine transverse 1'orls 5, so as to have a swinging or pivotal motion away i'tcom'thc end of the nopizacle 1, as shown by full. lines Fig. 2, anal towards and against the end of the reccp'toclc 1, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2.

The inward swinging motion of .the divisions Wall 6 is limited by the engagement of the projecting ends 6' on the upper rod 6 of the clii 'ision 6, which in this instance are insole loop shape, with the top side rod or rail on the main receptacle 1. When, the hinged divisional wall 8 is moved ini's'atrdly, as shown by fulLlincs in Fig. 2, a l shaped supplemental compartment 7 (sec Fi -2 is mailqbetwcen the em} wall oi the main receptaclo l, and the hinged divisional Wall 6, to receive the cuclcry and lQBQ it scparatecl fi'om the dishes in the main receptacle 1.

When it is not desired to use the supplen'acnml compartment 1501 the cutlery, the

longed divisional Wall 6 is inovcrl towznfdsv the end oi the main receptacle, as shown by brolficn lines in Fig. 2, leaving the wholc of the main receptacle for use as a (lish dz'aincr, if desired.

lie advantages of filrnction of a ill'illllfil' will be readily appreciafeil by chose skilled in the art. ill; is

of "very simple construction, and. the sup plcmcntzl compartment for the cutlery 1s a pom; of 212161 integral Wl'lll. 'tho'mam receptaclefor tlic dishes.- Tl1e' liingeii dimy improved coni r is iia'ataiis of COIlSilll'lC-iiiOI! 0'3 my impro' in drain: MS may be varied if dasiasai I have shown the hinged "risionai W211i at 011a 81161 of the main cla but if garden-Gd it b2 icczsiieu one side the main receptacle.

3a 'ing thus described my invention, wkmi; I claim 112W and Ci-ESiLG to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A, dish drainer for dishes and mitiery comprising :1 main receptacle far the dishes, and :1 hinged divisional W211i located Within the main. iecep'mcie and adapized 330 be moved, to make with the wall of the main i-eceptacie, a supg'iim I com'paziin'zen'fi31? me cuticr r, which 25 lpm' of and finizegrai with the mam z'acep sacie.
